I am an experienced Private Consultant Dermatologist and an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester. I have broad experience in all aspects of general dermatology, for adults and children, including dermatological surgery.
I aim to provide comprehensive, holistic and personalised care in a dignified and safe environment for all patients. I practice at Spire Manchester Hospital as well as their clinic in Hale, Cheshire.
I attended schools in Manchester before going to Edinburgh University to study medicine, where I attained a first class honours degree in medical sciences. I undertook postgraduate medical training in Edinburgh and the Hammersmith Hospital, London. I received formal dermatology training in the dermatology units in Edinburgh and Manchester.
I undertook a one-year fellowship in the Medical University of South Carolina, in a world-renowned centre for urticaria research and treatment, and have set up the internationally recognised Manchester Urticaria Clinic at Salford Royal Hospital, which supports teaching and ongoing research.
I have contributed to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines and have been consulted by various national media (TV, radio, newspapers) for dermatological issues. I have also acted as an advisor to drug companies for acne, adult acne (rosacea), antihistamines, eczema and urticaria.
I am frequently asked to speak at national and international meetings and conferences and sit on the North West Allergy and clinical Immunology Strategy Board. I contribute to national and international guidelines on urticaria and have published extensively in key dermatology and allergy journals. I am a core member of the Skin Cancer MDT at the dermatology centre in Salford and can provide surgical and the latest medical treatments for this including photodynamic therapy at Spire.
